PyPI URLs were changed recently. There is, however, a new supported
way to get dependable URLs:
https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi/issues/438/backwards-compatible-un-hashed-package

The current link:
https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/a/ansible/ansible-2.0.1.0.tar.gz

(URLs in the pypi.io domain were used briefly and will still work)
